5.  A couple weeks ago over 50 women from the community of Karogoto earned their training certificate from the Karogoto Knitting Center.  These women will now begin using the skills they have learned to earn an income and help lift them and their families out of poverty.  (blog post coming soon)

4.  The first 410 Bridge service trip returned from Haiti this week.  The team of 12 people had an incredible time helping rebuild a home for a widowed lady and her daughter, as well as investing in the lives of orphaned children in two different orphanages.  Our next team will leave next week, so please pray that God will continue to make his name great through the 410 Bridge work in Haiti.

3.  The 410 Staff team is growing.  In the last several weeks we have added three new employees.  We would like to welcome… Margaret Spratlin, Jackie Wilson, and Amy Todd to the 410 Team.  If you are in the area stop by sometime and meet our new additions.

2. New Release of ‘The Bridge”  featuring the Daraja Children’s Choir of Africa. This album is the closest thing you can get to being at a concert.  The album is made up of 9 songs and includes kids from the 2010 choir as well as Abbu, Grace, and Dan our Kenyan choir staff.

1. 410 at Orange 2010. If you are going to the Orange conference next week stop by the 410 Bridge booth in the conference center and say hello.  We have had the pleasure of being at Orange the last several years and work with several churches that utilize reThink curriculum in their ministries.

One Day At Church

One day at church I felt a calling or a nudge that God wanted me to serve in a different way. I looked through my church’s opportunities and as soon as I saw Kenya I felt a wash of joy flood over me. I applied that day and was overjoyed to hear shortly back that I had been accepted to go. Our church gave us the book “If You Really Want To Help” and from there I fell in love with what 410 was doing for the people of Kenya, especially after reading the story of Chris in Kahuria.

Learnings From Kiu, Kenya

Our partnership with Kiu community started way back in 2009 making it one of the first communities to partner with the 410 Bridge since its inception in Kenya in 2006. 

At the 410 Bridge, we work through the community leaders who ensure continuity of the community’s development even after graduation. During our partnership journey, we walk alongside indigenous community leaders and church leaders as they mobilize and unify the community to participate in their own development – shifting their perspectives and owning the solutions.

Serving with Joy: A Week in Mutirithia, Kenya

If you haven’t yet had the opportunity to go on a mission trip to Kenya, allow me to do my best to try to put into words what an incredible life-changing experience that you really need to do at least once in your life. 

I was recently blessed to travel to Mutirithia, Kenya with an amazing group of 20 other Christian men to serve the families in that community over the course of a week. 

We prepared for weeks to make sure everyone understood the primary objective of the trip, which was to build upon relationships already formed in the community and to spread the Word to as many people as we could. 

Allow me to unfold a day-by-day glimpse of what we experienced:
